And the so called "mystery" of why Ishaani is so weird and stilted seems easy enough to decipher.
Her parents probably "broke the rules" in maybe euthanizing some ppl so they got labeled corrupt killers or something .
So Ishani's life has become all about "following the rules" obsessively so she doesn't become like them. That is why she keeps babbling about rules and goes psycho over minor "rule breaking"....
This same thing could have been executed without OTT scenes and acting but SC isn't convincing in portraying this and looks fake while enacting it.....combination of bad/poor direction/writing/acting....failure on all fronts.....leading to zero connect with audience.
They will likely try to "damage control" by starting the love story soon but I honestly don't know what love story can make up for an already weird dynamic and the lack of conviction in the base premise.
Neither Namit or SC are some romantic scene champions ki bas romance karke lack of story/characterization can be overcome.
Baaki the show is so crowded with so many characters, dunno how that will survive.....so far Namit-SC don't have the spark together to run the show on their shoulders....force kiya toh aur disaster hoga....lol but SM ji ko lagta hai they are "layered" toh karne do try....aur chop hogi like first week mein ho chuki hai.
